Is this a regular butter motley hatchling? (pic heavy)

I understand that there is a lot of variation in a clutch but I didn't expect this much variatoin. If some of you more experienced breaders could help this new breeder out I'd appreciate it. :D
This was from a golddust motley X butter motley, both first time breeders, no known hets, born 9/24/08.
This little girl has always been very orange, first 3 pics are her. Pics 4 and 5 are butter motley siblings.

Here is another sibling followed by the kicker, very very yellow in comparison to butter motley sibs.
First pic is sibling, pic 3 and 4 is the kicker.

If the parents are golddust & butter you should have both of these morphs in the clutch. Do you?
 
Yes, I had 18 eggs, 10 golddust motley and 8 butter motley. The golddust motley hatchlings were pretty much what I expected from all the pics I've seen. I'm assuming the butter motley hatchlings are just the normal variation but figured might as well ask since I had the pics handy and a forum full of helpful people. I wasn't planning on having any keepers from this clutch but now I have second thoughts. ;)

Here are a couple of the golddust motley.
